This variable should be <class 'datetime.timezone'> and not datetime. If I run my code in python IDLE I get the correct output = 2015-10-21 13:29:00+01:00
import datetime
naive = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29)
pacific = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours=-8))
hill_valley = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29,tzinfo = pacific)
paris = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours=1))
hill_valley.astimezone(paris)

Then they say "Create a new variable named paris that uses your new timezone and the astimezone method to change hill_valley to the new timezone." So "paris" is expected to be a "datetime", as "hill_valley" is, but with a different timezone.
So while you've done all the steps, the final result doesn't get get assigned to "paris".
